One thing possibly being overlooked here is that Hartman will likely be much bigger and stronger next season which could help him in the QB battle. However, the State and Duke games have likely given Newman an enormous amount of confidence that he can parlay into even better decision making and accuracy next season.This will aid him in what should be an epic battle starting next spring
I think Newman's two TD passes while being blitzed against Dook clearly sets him apart. Those were NFL throws and he did not flinch.
